"Mr. Horner, after an accident that almost turned into an air crash, you arrived in Madrid on time for the premiere. ”

In front of a famous cinema in Madrid, the reporter's microphone was placed in front of Matthew, "What do you think?"

It was the premiere of "American Sniper" in Spain, and Matthew pointed to the thousands of fans gathered on both sides of the red carpet and said, "I don't want to disappoint them." ”

He said very calmly, "For this premiere, we have been planning for a long time, and fans have also had a very enthusiastic response, and we have been waiting for a long time. It was just a small accident a few days ago, and since we have no problems, of course we can't disappoint the fans. ”

The journalist was also on the road and immediately said, "Spanish fans like you very much. ”

Matthew nodded, "I just felt their enthusiasm. ”

The Spaniard is passionate and romantic, and when he walked the red carpet to sign autographs just now, he almost couldn't come back completely clothed.

The premiere was a big and lively affair, and it was attended by a number of Real Madrid stars, including Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the two best players in the world.

It's a pity that Matthew has no feelings for the peerless duo, except for polite greetings, and he didn't talk to Ronaldo more.

As in London, England, the premiere of "American Sniper" in Madrid was a great success, attracting the attention of the Spanish press, earning $7.89 million in a single weekend, making it the best war film opening in the Spanish film market.

Subsequently, Matthew and the rest of the crew traveled to Rome, Berlin and Budapest within a week, participating in a number of promotional activities and cheering for "American Sniper".

This film will be inherently rejected by mainstream audiences in some overseas markets, and if you want to get a good overseas box office, you must do enough in a market with high acceptance.

One thing, even when Matthew lived on the other side of the Pacific, had to admit that this is a world dominated by Western values, and in the face of increasing global terrorism, "American Sniper" under the banner of anti-terrorism has a large audience in the Western market.

In the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, New Zealand and Australia, "American Sniper" has achieved the best opening results for a war genre.

By the time Matthew finished his overseas promotion and returned to Los Angeles, "American Sniper" had earned a total of $119.5 million at the overseas box office.

The film has been a hit in North America, and five weekends after its release, the North American box office easily surpassed the $350 million mark, accumulating a total of $361.28 million.

And in October, there is still a lack of competitive enough opponents in the North American film market, and "American Sniper" is very likely to continue to dominate the North American box office champion after winning five consecutive North American box office titles.

Anyone can see that the box office of $400 million in North America can be easily reached.

At the same time, "The Avengers" was completely removed from North American theaters after earning $270,000 in its 26th weekend, and the final North American box office of this superhero collection stopped at $635.89 million.

Overseas screenings have also largely ended, with a combined global box office of $1,558.81 million.

This is also the third film after "Avatar" and "Titanic" to surpass the $1.5 billion mark at the global box office.

As investors, Matthew and Walt Disney simply had a good time.

Just the box office share, Studio 13 is enough to recover the total investment in this film, and the rest of the shares, such as TV broadcast rights, DVD disc sales and network on-demand rights, and other peripheral licensing, are basically profits.

Other copyright negotiations are still continuing, and after "The Avengers" was removed from North America, the most important thing was to release a DVD disc while the iron was hot.

In three days over the weekend, the film sold more than 3.5 million copies of various discs in North America alone, with sales exceeding $100 million.

However, the highest-selling disc in North America this year, including the records of pop singers, is currently the number one player, The Hunger Games, which has sold 8.47 million units and sold nearly $190 million.

Even Matthew is lamenting that compared with the box office that is divided into layers, the profits brought by DVD discs are significantly higher.

Of course, such DVD disc sales, in today's rapidly shrinking disc market, can only be said to be unavoidable.

What's more, any film that sells well on DVD is also hot at the box office.

Without the popularity brought by the release, the DVD or videotape of a film can only rely on time to slowly accumulate sales.

To date, the most sold DVD discs in North America are "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" starring Matthew and Johnny Depp, with a total of 27.6 million units sold.

In second place is Finding Nemo, with 23.6 million units sold.

But the highest sales are "Avatar," a blockbuster by James Cameron, which has sold $380 million on disc.

The highest sales of audio and video products are also from James Cameron, and the CDs, soundtracks and videotapes of "Titanic" have earned a full $1.2 billion by selling and renting.

In fact, it is not difficult to look at these discs and other big-selling films to find that if you want discs and other audio-visual products to sell well, the box office is very important.

However, there are also some peripherals, even if they are box office hits, it is often difficult to pull.

That's related comics, such as "The Avengers" is a super hit, according to the inherent thinking, the comics related to the six Avengers should sell well.

But in fact, what was the sales of comics before, after the release of "The Avengers", it was basically the same.

It is recognized in the industry that the promotion effect and mechanism of American comic film and TV series on comics is not obvious, for comics that are not well-known, after the adapted movie or TV series is broadcast, the sales of the original work can increase by more than 10,000 copies, and those superhero comics that are household names in the United States have little benefit.

Matthew saw the data obtained by Walt Disney through market research, and found that there was a certain deviation in past cognition.

The conversion rate from movie audiences to comic book consumers is not high enough, and there are even comic book authors who think it is a negative conversion, as Kevin Feige once gave the example of a thirteen-year-old Thor teenage fan who had to choose between spending $13 on Thor comics and watching Thor movies with friends.

The adaptation of superhero movies is very large, and people who are attracted to the movie and want to go to the bookstore to buy the original work, see that the storyline is seriously inconsistent, which affects sales even more.

Another point, there are too many types of American comics, let's talk about comic superheroes, it is estimated that Marvel itself can't tell how many superhero characters it has.

During his time in Los Angeles, Matthew did a lot of things besides focusing on the films and work he invested.

Now that he has confirmed his girlfriend, he has no plans to wander again for the time being, he has successively called several actresses who still have in-depth contacts, or sent emails, saying that the friendship between the two sides will last forever, and the in-depth communication will stop.

People like Nina Dubrev and Jennifer Lawrence have no problem with this, after all, it was a deal with each other from the beginning.

What Matthew didn't expect was that Emma Watson, who had a more purely physical relationship, rushed to Los Angeles from Brown University after receiving his email and asked him to meet.

"What a surprise. ”

Inside the booth in the café, Emma Watson played with the white porcelain coffee cup in her hand, "I didn't expect you to have a girlfriend one day." ”

Matthew smiled and said, "I'm a normal man, too. ”

Emma Watson inexplicably curled the corners of one side of her mouth into her trademark smile, "Margot Robbie, I'm very curious, what's so special about this Australian woman?"

"Nothing special. Matthew took a sip of his coffee cup and said, "An ordinary girl from the Australian countryside who is a little wild. ”

It's true, Margot Robbie isn't a top-notch beauty in Hollywood.

Emma Watson was more curious, "Then why did you choose her?"

Matthew thought about it and decided to tell the truth, "She was in the right place at the right time." ”

If it weren't for those two times in the shooting club and on the plane, he wouldn't have had an extraordinary feeling for Margot Robbie.

Emma Watson frowned, sighed softly, and said, "We're done with this?"

Matthew didn't answer, but said, "We're still good friends." ”

Emma Watson scoffed at this, "Do you think we can still be normal friends?" She lowered her voice, accentuated her tone, and said, "Matthew, you're irresponsible!"

"Uh......" Matthew was stunned, how could he be irresponsible?

Didn't you make it clear at the beginning?

Emma Watson continued, "What do you want me to do in the future? What do you taste there? Where do I find it?"

Matthew was completely speechless, how can he carry this kind of pot?

"I'm a good man!" he muttered to himself, "I'm a good man." ”

"Adapted to super scale and intensity. Emma Watson was a little distracted, "Why would you be interested in anything else?"

These words gave Matthew a peculiar sense of accomplishment, but he still couldn't carry the pot, otherwise so many women, would he have to carry all the pots.

"Emma, I believe in one thing. Matthew said solemnly, "You will find true love just like me." ”

"I hope so. Emma Watson glanced at Matthew.

Matthew nodded, "Come on, don't stop, you still have a career." ”

Emma Watson stood up, "No more, I'm leaving." She turned to leave, but suddenly turned back and said, "By the way, greet your girlfriend for me...... Well, let's just say that Emma Watson wished her a happy breakup in advance. ”
